Well, I believe I had to put my credit card on file (to prove I'm over 18).
They have never charged me. They offer different accounts. Mine is a free basic.

So when you sign on, you create your avatar. They supply the skin (you can purchase a different skin when you earn Linden Dollars.

But for free, I gave myself boobs like Pamela Anderson Lee, a behind like Jennifer Lopez, legs like Cyd Sharisse (you all remember her, right?)

and hair (well the hair is like Pamela's too).

How do you earn Linden dollars you might be asking.

Well, you go and sit on logs around a campfire and if you stay for 10 minutes you earn two linden dollars. So I stayed for a while.

Then someone came along and I said "I have no lindens" and she gave me 50 right off the bat. For doing nothing but accompanying her to some stupid sex place. I got out of there fast but I had 50 lindens. Then I teleported to some casino and lost it playing slots.

You should get a load of some of the people there. They have designed Avatars (must have cost them plenty, because stores sell skins, costumes, really neat stuff).

There were people there (well they looked like they were going to a grand ball).

Amazing graphics. But honestly after a while, (I mean how much can you type in text to talk to someone) and how much can you fly over waterfalls.

Bored me silly. But that's me. I can see where a tech no geek would be in paradise in some of these worlds.
